A -- SURVEILLANCE, EPIDEMIOLOGY AND END RESULTS (SEER) PROGRAM SOL N01-CN-77003 POC Clyde Williams, 301/496-8603, Contracting Officer. A - Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program. The Division of Cancer Prevention and Control, National Cancer Institute, intends to negotiate with Wayne State University, N01-CN-77003 for a seven-year continuation contract for Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program. This contract project was recently approved for non-competitive renewal with Michigan Cancer Foundation (MCF). Since that approval, MCF has changed its name to Karmanos Cancer Institute. Recent information from the Department of Public Health, State of Michigan, specified the Karmanos Cancer Institute as an organizational component of Wayne State University with the cancer data collecting authority. The project includes collecting and reporting on population-based cancer incidence, treatment and survival data for the area covered. Authority:41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1), as set forth in FAR 6.302-1 and HHSAR 306.302-1. Only on responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements; FAR 6.302-1 (a)(2) (ii) and HHSAR 306.302 (a)(2) (ii) indicates services may be deemed to be available only from the original source for follow-on contracts for continued development. Inherent duplication of cost to the Government and unacceptable delays in completing this follow-up project make competition unfeasible for this project. The above named organization has the prerequisite knowledge, experience and facilities for continued performance of the proposed tasks by virtue of its preliminary and current work on the project. For Information Purposes Only. RFP is not available. See Numbered Note 22. No collect calls will be accepted. (0326)
